A guitar is one of the most spectacular weapons in wrestling. Gimmick the instrument just right, then pour a little baby powder into the guitar’s body, and you’ll get a massive pop from the crowd every time.

“Sometimes I’ll say it’s doctored up pretty good, and other times, not very much at all,” Jeff Jarrett told Cageside Seats about the unpredictability of guitar shots on wrestling. “There are harder guitars than others. Through the years and the tricks of the trade, it’s still not a perfect science.”

Double J continued, “Guitars nowadays are much more durable than they used to be. Strings are sometimes left on, sometimes they cut my hands. That can be dangerous. Other times, they can be replaced by anything: plastic, fishing lines. It just depends. Sometimes, no strings.”

Alongside the Honky Tonk Man, Jarrett has proven himself as the master of the guitar shot. Still, he’s been able to take shots as well as he can give them.

“I’ve been hit by my own guitar a couple of times, so I feel the pain,” Jarrett admitted. “It has happened more than you’d think that, ‘Man, that was a pretty stiff shot.’ It happens. As they say, it’s not ballet.”
